Help with annoying calls

My daughter has been receiving calls in the middle of the night from an international number. Verizon has said they can not block international calls and we could just change the number. Gee...that would be convenient.

Anyway...it looks like the calls are coming from the country of Jordan. The recording said "Thanks for waiting...you are now on hold with Orange Mobile". Has anyone else experienced this and is there no way to stop the calls without changing the number?

Re: Help with annoying calls

Might not help you with your phone, but some phones (pretty sure all androids) can set up a contact to send a caller directly to voicemail... just add the number to your contacts and set it up that way.

Re: Help with annoying calls

There is a chance this is more than an inconvenience. I used to work as a telecommunications fraud investigator. Wireless is much different from my experience on the landline side of the business, but I would recomend she looks for changes to her outgoing voicemail and/or strange outgoing calls. Verizon fraud prevention is very good at what they do so I wouldn't lose any sleep over it.

It's a little over-the-top, but it isn't suspiciously over-the-top. I could see it going either way. Still wouldn't be real comfortable with the arrangement even if it is legit, but I could see this going either way.

Re: Help with annoying calls

There is a way to block calls on your Verizon phone yourself, but you only have the option to either Allow All incoming calls, allow from Contacts Only, or Block All. But you should be able to go to Phone Settings, Security, Calls, Incoming Calls to change the settings for that.
